Coro Energy plc

("Coro" or the "Company")

New awards under Long Term Incentive Plan / PDMR Shareholding

Coro Energy plc, the South East Asian energy company focused on supporting the regional transition to a low carbon economy, announces that following the completion of the acquisition of Global Energy Partnership Limited, the Company has today awarded an aggregate of 57,187,500 options to subscribe for new ordinary shares in the Company (the "Options") to certain of the Company's executives under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"), the terms of which were announced by the Company on 22 February 2021.

37,500,000 of the Options have been awarded to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mark Hood. The Options will vest on 22 February 2024, provided each grantee remains employed by the Company and that the mid-market closing price per Coro ordinary share on the last day of the vesting period is equal to or higher than 0.46 pence per ordinary share, being 15% above the placing price in connection with the placing approved by the Company's shareholders at a General Meeting held on 15 March 2021. Once vested, the Options may be exercised at any time until 22 February 2027.  

Subject to meeting the aforementioned continuous service and minimum share price conditions, the number of Options which will vest on the Vesting Date will depend on the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") over a 3 year performance period starting on the date of grant, compared to a comparator group of 20 energy companies selected by the Company's Remuneration Committee. The number of Options vesting will be calculated as follows: 

Relative TSR	Percentage of Options vesting on the Vesting Date
Below median	0%
Median	30%
Upper decile	100%
Between median and upper decile	Straight-line vesting between 30% and 100%

In the event the options vest (by achieving the above floor price and at least a median relative TSR performance) then they are exercisable at a price of 0.1p per new ordinary share.
